Throwback Thursday – Seeking Vector

By Cynthia Sax on March 5, 2026

Folks say secrets always come out.

I don’t believe this is true. I think some secrets go to the grave with us. We merely don’t know that has happened because…well…no one knows about them. They are kept secret.

(grins)

This is NOT the case with Vector’s secret, however. Someone HAS uncovered it.

And this cyborg captain will do ANYTHING to stop this unknown entity from sharing it.

Seeking Vector

A cyborg with a secret… A female seeking the truth…

Vector, the C Model captain of the Freedom, is a cyborg many warriors wish to emulate. He fights fiercely, leads with honor, has earned the respect and loyalty of his crew. But no being, not even a cyborg, is perfect. Since arriving at the Homeland, Vector has been hiding a dark truth about his past. If his secret is exposed, he could lose everything – his position, his ship, and his life.

Kasia excels at uncovering secrets. Half a lifespan ago, her curiosity placed her on the Humanoid Alliance’s kill list. Now she has accessed information the cyborg council would prefer remain hidden. Their warriors are hunting her and won’t rest until she’s dead.

When Vector arrives on her battle station, all grim determination, gray skin, and bulging muscles, Kasia knows he has been sent to kill her. That doesn’t stop her from wanting the dominant cyborg. She senses the savage nature under the male’s controlled exterior, sees the mysteries in his brilliant blue eyes, craves the roughness of his touch. She will risk all she has to experience his embrace.

Kasia braved the cyborg council’s ire for a reason. If she doesn’t convince Vector to act on the information she uncovered, the enemy could destroy his home planet and render every cyborg in the universe immobile.

Can a doubting C Model warrior learn to trust and to love before it is too late?

Throwback Thursday – Provoking Odium

By Cynthia Sax on September 11, 2025

Beauty and the Beast is my favorite fairy tale. And it is one of my favorite tropes.

In Provoking Odium, Briella, the human heroine, is the beast. She’s called that for a number of reasons. She’s a fearless fighter, flying into dangerous situations. And she’s scarred. Because navigating dangerous situations…and life leaves marks on our faces, our bodies.

Unless you’re a cyborg.

Odium, the cyborg hero, was designed to be handsome and to remain handsome. Briella’s scars enchant him. They are a physical representation of her warrior soul. He LOVES that.

He just has to convince his doubting human that is his truth.

(smiles)

Provoking Odium

A Beautiful Cyborg

While accompanying his leader on a mission, Odium, an E Model cyborg, hears a distress call over the communication lines. The voice on that message makes his circuits surge with energy and all his systems light up. He has to respond to the mysterious female, would risk his lifespan and the lifespans of everyone on board their ship to protect her.

A Human Female Others Call Beast

Briella gained her nickname due to her flying abilities, her fearlessness, and her scarred countenance. Her verbal-only relationship with the sexy cyborg who answers her distress call is a steamy yet short-lived fantasy. His kind is physically perfect, and she is…not. He will uncover that truth when…if they survive the attack upon her freighter.


Provoking Odium is a STANDALONE Cyborg SciFi Romance set in a dark, gritty, sometimes-violent universe.

It features a human female intent on remaining mysterious, a cyborg warrior determined to uncover her identity, and an enemy seeking to destroy them both before they have the opportunity to meet.

Throwback Thursday – Seeking Vector

By Cynthia Sax on May 22, 2025

We all have secrets.

Trusting someone else with one of our secrets is an act of trust AND an act of love. We want that someone to know more about us, more than the average person knows. And we believe they will NEVER hurt us with that knowledge.

Vector, the cyborg captain of The Freedom, has a HUGE secret. He has trusted no one with it.

But an unknown entity has uncovered it. And they might use that knowledge to hurt him and his crew.

Kasia is that unknown entity. She has no plans to use her knowledge of Vector’s secret…unless he forces her to take that drastic step.

Throwback Thursday – Provoking Odium

By Cynthia Sax on December 26, 2024

Provoking Odium is a Beauty And The Beast story. (smiles) That’s one of my favorite tropes.

Briella, Provoking Odium’s human heroine, is nicknamed The Beast. She flies like a wild thing. Not many beings have skills in the air like she does. And she’s fearless. But I suspect most beings who call her Beast do so because she is severely scarred.

Odium, Provoking Odium’s cyborg hero, is physically perfect. His nanocybotics ensured he didn’t scar from the many wounds he endured over his long lifespan. And he was manufactured to look like the designer’s ideal (yet very much larger) human male.

Together, they are…magical.

Throwback Thursday – Seeking Vector

By Cynthia Sax on August 22, 2024

One of my indications of love is… does that person trust me with their secrets?

Vector, the cyborg hero of Seeking Vector, has a HUGE secret. He has kept this secret from his crew, his leaders, everyone he knows.

Kasia, the human heroine, is a super skilled hacker and she has uncovered Vector’s secret.

Can he trust her with that secret?

He doesn’t think he can.

Throwback Thursday – Provoking Odium

By Cynthia Sax on April 4, 2024

Beauty and the Beast is one of my favorite tropes both to write and to read.

Provoking Odium, however, is the first story I’ve written to have the human heroine being referred to as the Beast.

Briella has earned that nickname for a number of reasons – some admirable and some not-so-good.

She is a beast in the air. Briella flies into dangerous situations other beings would avoid. She does this to save lifespans. Her courage is tremendous.

And her flying skills are amazeballs. She loves to fly. And flying loves her. (grins)

The human heroine of Provoking Odium is also extremely scarred. She is aware that beings tend to react terribly to her appearance. So she avoids that rejection by rejecting them first.

Odium, the cyborg hero, doesn’t accept that rejection. And he certainly doesn’t react terribly to her appearance. (laughs)

Throwback Thursday – Seeking Vector

By Cynthia Sax on December 14, 2023

All of heroes and heroines have secrets. They have things they don’t share with the universe.

Vector, the cyborg captain of the Freedom, has a HUGE secret. No one else knows a truth about him. He has concealed it from his crew and from the Cyborg Council.

Kasia loves uncovering secrets. And, as she is extremely attracted to Vector, she is focused on him. She pays attention to everything he says and does. And she KNOWS he’s hiding something.

I loved Seeking Vector so much I crafted an entire sub-series around his crew (the Cyborg Space Exploration series). (grins)

Vector, the cyborg captain, has a secret no one, including his crew, knows.

Kasia, a female human hacker, is VERY good at uncovering secrets.

They are destined to clash and wowsers, does that collision set off sparks!

Throwback Thursday – Seeking Vector

By Cynthia Sax on October 6, 2022

A wise woman once told me that people who are most different on the inside appear the most normal on the outside.

This is certainly true of Vector, the hero of Seeking Vector. He seems like one VERY uptight cyborg captain. But he has a reason for acting this way – he’s hiding a painful secret.

Kasia, the heroine, loves uncovering secrets. I think Vector senses this and it makes him nervous. It also excites him. (grins)

I love these two together!

Preparing For First Frost

By Cynthia Sax on September 30, 2022

First frost in my corner of the universe is within the first two weeks in October. When that occurs, my tomato plants and my bell pepper plants will die and all the fruit remaining on those plants will spoil.

I don’t know when first frost will truly be. Weather predictions have been wrong in the past.

So I’m picking quite a few of the larger tomatoes while they are green and bringing them inside the house. I place them in shallow cardboard boxes (thank you, chocolate and book deliveries- grins) and will monitor them, waiting for them to ripen.

It takes almost a month for a completely green tomato to ripen inside our house. That means we’ll have fresh tomatoes during the entire month of October, which is AWESOME.

I’m also picking the bell peppers. They remain green and they would be considered a small green pepper in the grocery store but hey, they taste great!

(Next year, I’ll start the bell peppers earlier. I added them to the gardening mix at the last minute this year.)

I’m super happy with the veggie garden this year. I’ll definitely have one again next year.
